Hey everyone – we’re back from Wales!
Oh ok, so we came back on Sunday. Sadly we didn’t get home till gone 8pm and were absolutely shattered so didn’t blog. Yesterday we went to Castle Howard for my birthday (I’m 28 now) and again, didn’t get in till quite late. Rachel managed to blog something on Sunday [...]

25 Jun 2009

My friend Dave recently pointed me at Load Impact, a new load testing web app, which is currently in BETA (aren’t all web apps? Hell, I’m thinking about putting a BETA label on Musoswire – might get more traffic!)

And it’s Glastonbury this weekend. Rach said to me the other day that Glastonbury is either a muddy fiasco or a burn-fest (she used to live about 3miles away). This year I [...]

She keeps doing daft things while she’s on the phone and scaring me out of my wits end!
The other night we were nattering as she cycled home. She got home, locked the bike up, opened the front door and SCREAMED!!! And I don’t just mean a quick shriek either – this was a proper full-blown [...]
